The Heathrow Airport in London is one of the top 3 busiest airports in the world with the highest number of passengers travelling through it. Of course, when you need to get to Heathrow Airport, you need to make some extra planning to ensure that you reach before time comfortably. Be it from the other nearest London airports from any areas of London, there are two mains ways for you to reach Heathrow Airport. One is through the Heathrow Express and another one is through the London cabs. We will now compare and see which one is the best option for you according to a lot of factors.
The Heathrow Express runs from the Paddington Station every 15 minutes. It reaches the airport terminal 1 and 3 in just about 15 minutes and it may take some extra time to reach the airport terminals 4 and 5.
When you book the tickets in advance, it may cost you a bit less. Usually, the ticket cost from Paddington to the Heathrow Airport starts from £20 for a single person and the return ticket cost is around £34. Of course, if you are taking the ticket on the spot at the station on the day of the travel, you may need to pay a bit more than that.
For those who are travelling alone with little or no luggage, then taking the Heathrow Express will be a good option. If you are travelling with more people or having a lot of luggage with you, then travelling through Heathrow Express may not be a good option in terms of the cost-effectiveness and the comfortableness.
When you have a lot of luggage, you will need to carry them around on your own. Or, when you are travelling with two or more people, the economical way isn’t to travel by the Heathrow Express but by a cab.
The cost of travelling through a London cab may differ depending on where you are travelling from. If you are travelling to Heathrow Airport from West London, then getting a cab is probably the cheaper option.
When you are travelling in groups, the total cost of all the tickets for the Heathrow Express will be much higher than what you need to pay when you travel by cab. Even if you are a single person or two, you can take the cheapest cab option like the minicabs and pay for just what you need.
